Acceptance and really letting go is the path to freedom. I was doing well but still had niggly anxiety that remained - then one day i realised I’m still resisting total acceptance. I don’t quite know how I did it but I just absolutely and totally let go which meant allowing and being OK with my worst deep down fears and let whatever I thought I was stopping happen. I realized how much i was bullshitting myself, as if being tense and alert and on guard would stop me from falling apart (i don’t even really know what that meant, just that if I let go somehow I would disappear or dissolve, yeah ridiculous) and I just was like OK I don’t want to live like this so bring it on, let it all happen. Of course, when I did this - nothing bad happened! None of the things i feared happend (of course they didn’t) I found freedom. The crazy thing, there was nothing, literally nothing to be scared of and never was - I was always 100% ok I just believed that I wasn’t. This is the illusion of anxiety, tricking you to think you have a problem and when you face this the whole illusion shatters!

I feel like I could have written this. I think I sort of had an "Aha!" Moment tonight... I realized that I'm so worried about everything that I'm not living my life fully. I'm always thinking about how people perceive me, how professional I appear, if I'm ready to open my business, can I handle it? Will people like me? Will people dox me and make fun of me if I make a mistake? The list goes on... But mainly my anxiety centers around talking to people in certain situations. Important ones, usually. Like a job interview... I was this close to having a visible panic attack during one about a year ago. The lady was nice and actually helped me chill out eventually but she held on to that first impression I guess because I never got a call back when she said I would get a call either way. It crushed me. Even going to appointments make me freak out now days. But tonight I just had this realization... I am who I am and who I am is OKAY. Everyone else is worried about themselves, I shouldn't be ashamed of being me, so I'm just going to be me from now on. I'm going to do the things I want to do, and learn as I go. I hope this feeling lasts. Much love to you. 💜 I hope you're still feeling that freedom!

My recovery started when I accepted & allowed but it truly got way better faster as soon as I let go. I remember watching one of your videos & you mentioned that your dad told you to just “let go.” Those words will forever stay with me because that was the moment everything changed. I had to get out of your group because I was using it to cope & for reassurance but it was one of the hardest things I had to do, I actually had a setback for a while after that but I stayed strong & did it. I can’t wait till I’m recovered 100% & going back to share my story! I want to say I’m about 90% right now, symptoms are minimal. Thank you for everything Shaan ♥️

Thank you so much for your clear and reassuring videos. I have been through a lot and it has been your videos that have given me the recognition, knowledge, understanding and also solutions to my anxiety. I am having nicer days with a few days of anxiety here and there so still on the journey but at least headed in the right direction.

Always good information. These are my go too videos when I need a refresher. Love it!

Thanks again Shaan!!! You have helped me live life again. 💞💞💞

Thank you Shaan for all of your help through my recovery. I still have a little ways to go, but I’m SO much better than where I was. Lately it has just been my palpitations keeping me stuck in the loop. I find myself bouncing from one video to the next like you say here, looking for the missing fix or reassurance, but what I need to do is let go. I know my anxiety is not unique and doctors say I’m perfectly healthy, so time to go live life

My struggle with accepting it is I have trouble doing it in a positive way.... my trap is I end up dwelling on it. I'm totally drowning in anxiety, trauma, and fear and I'm signed up for your program. Having the first interview meeting Wednesday. I know I'm qualified because I'll do anything to overcome this! Thanks for giving back shaan!

This is me right now. Symptoms are so low now but it's the intrusive thoughts that stop me... I just need to trust but my anxiety comes from childhood trauma where trust is hard

You pointed my problem out. I always want to be in control, hustling and figuring out ways to soothe anxiety when in reality all I have to is acknowledge and let go.

Thank you so much for the deep insights

I wake up each day with feelings of derealization. Then I start scrolling social media to get my mind off it. Then realize I'm wasting my day and I feel anxious that I haven't done enough house work or whatever.

I'm doing better, I'm not out of the woods yet but I'm responding better and it's true that letting go is the best thing you can do no matter how bad the symptoms are they can't last forever. The symptoms want to stay alive

This is really my #1 issue. I have a huge problem with trying to control everything, which has led me to cardiophobia, since the heart is exactly something you have no control over and you cannot foresee strokes or heart attacks. As my therapist said, control probably worked for me and was useful until a certain point in my life, to achieve some goals, but I overdeveloped this skill, the "hammer". Of course losing control completely would be detrimental, but I need to compensate. That's the key to all my problems, and this tendency to over-control has a lot to do with my personality but also (or even more) with the boss I worked with for 10 years, who held me responsible for everything, and expected everything to be perfect. This really ruined my balance.

My symptom is just the high nervousness. i know it is caused by the anxiety not anything else. how do i let go of the nervousness that i fear. i'm not very brave and I'm scared of the nerves they are debilitating.

I have recently found that acceptance may have been the missing key for me all along in the fight against this Illness. It wasn’t something I forced, it just happened because I was literally so tired of fighting and running from all of my fears. I found that I could not escape them and so I just let go and suddenly I felt the best I had in years.

Yo! Sometimes I have the same feelings. What really helped me was when I saw one video of a KZread therapist (idk the name anymore) which explained the symtom. I also always have the fear of passing out in public until she told me that passing out or fainting only happens when your blood pressure is really low, however when u experience a panic attack or an anxiety attack your blood pressure is all the way up so it is impossible to pass out :)

@55tranquility

9 ай бұрын

My therapist told me you can’t ‘nearly pass out’ or feel like you are passing out - you either pass out or you don’t there is no ‘nearly’, feeling dizzy is just feeling dizzy it’s uncomfortable but thats it, telling yourself that feeling dizzy must mean something is the issue. That was a game changer for me - feeling dizzy or whatever is not the problem its the ‘thinking’ it’s a problem that’s the issue. I then used to make myself dizzy on purpose, I then just accepted it an welcomed it - then it just went away, because I stopped making such a big deal of it, if it happens it happens - then it just stopped because I no longer cared about it

What if there is an underlying health problem? No clean bill of health?

Example no good letting go of symptoms and keep your fear maybe of it coming back. You have a panic attack it's so frightening in so many ways that when you go out again your brain fears it so much that you're brain tells your body to fear then your panic attacks start
